APPENDIX. Ivi

Other sets of plants with a singular aspect, and belonging- 

 more particularly to the west coast, are Borya and Johnsonia. 

 Of the former there are two species, ^.sdr^JozV/m^''^ (Tab. IX. A) 

 and B. sphcBrocephala, R. Br., little tufted rush-leaved plants, 

 with dense heads of white flowers, supported by stiff leafy 

 bracts; I mention these chiefly for the purpose of remarking 

 that their ovary has been incorrectly described as trilocular ; 

 it is undoubtedly unilocular with three parietal placentee, 

 and the genus itself appears to belong to Xyridacese. Of 

 Johnsonia, with its hop-like heads, there are two very pretty 

 species, namely, J. hirta,^^^ Plate VII. B ; and J. pubescens, 

 both much smaller than the /. lupulina of the South 

 coast. 



All the preceding, although very striking plants, in 

 consequence of their unusual forms, are of no moment to 

 the searcher after ornamental flowers ; but of the latter 

 there are a few that are very handsome, and several which 

 deserve to be introduced. In the first place there' is that 

 most beautiful plant Calectasia ci/anea, R. Br., a bush like 

 an Andersonia, with quantities of large blue flowers with 

 deep orange-coloured anthers ; this is the handsomest Endo- 

 gen in the Colony. Next to this must be placed Stypandra 

 grandijiora,'"'^ an erect plant, with leafy stems one and half 

 to two feet high, loaded with large panicled blue flowers ; 

 and several Ccesias,'^^^ all of which, except C. micranthay are 

 beautiful. Of other Liliaceae the most worth notice are a 



(269) Bohya scirpoidea (Tab. IX. A) ; acaulls caspitosa, foliis erectis scapo bre- 

 viorious, capitulo turbinate bracteis brevlore. 



(270) JoHNSONiA^ hirta (Tab. VII. B) ; foliis scapoque subaequalibus incano- 

 pubescentibus. 



(271) Johnsonia 2iubescens ; foliis glaberrimis scapo pubescente longioribus. 



This is about the size of J. hirta, and consequently not one-third as large 

 as J. lupulina. 



(272) St^px^drx ffrandi^ora; foliis omnibus distinctis estriatis ovato-lanceolatis 

 acuminatis glaucis basi vaginantibus simplicibus, floribus panlculatis nutan- 

 tibus, pedicellis nudis. 



(273) C^siA hirsuta; caule ancipiti simplici, floribus erectis cymosis, pedunculis 

 sepalisque hirsutis, foliis linearibus acuminatis. 



(274) Cin&ia. versicolor ; foliis radicalibus binis angust^ oblongis scapo aphyllo 



corymboso paniculato duplo brevioribus, floribus erectis. Flowers pink, 



changing to deep blue. 



(275) Csesia micrantha ; foliis linearibus erectis scapo longioribus, panicula race- 

 mosa, floribus erectis fasciculatis pedicelloruni longitudine.
